Did it match your vision and end up meeting expectations?

That sounds like the woman from customer service calling after delivery.

Uh, yeah, sure. It was exactly what I wanted. But I would add that I already knew the people who made it.
 


It's that time of the year...




Utah Climber Dies After Scaling Everest In 7 Summit Bid

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — An American climber who fulfilled his dream of climbing the highest mountains on each of the seven continents by reaching the summit of Mount Everest died of probable altitude sickness on the way down, mountaineering officials said Friday.

Don Cash became ill at the summit and was treated there by his two Sherpa guides, one of the officials said.

“He got high altitude sickness on top of Everest,” said Pasang Tenje Sherpa, head of Pioneer Adventure, which provided the guides.

“When he was on the top he just fell. The two Sherpas who were with him gave CPR and massages,” he said. “After that he woke up, then near Hillary Step he fell down again in the same manner, which means he got high altitude sickness.”

Hillary Step is a rocky outcrop near the summit named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who was the first person to climb the mountain along with the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Altitude sickness is caused by low amounts of oxygen at high elevation and can cause headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath and mental confusion.

Cash, 55, from Utah, had a long-held dream to climb the “seven summits"...

"(NPR)...There are reports that the effort to carry Cash below the Hillary Step was delayed by a traffic jam of other mountaineers trying to reach the summit. Somewhere between 250 to 300 climbers were attempting to reach the summit on Wednesday...

"There's a long queue of climbers above Camp IV," Gyanendra Shrestha, a liaison officer at the Everest base camp, told The Himalayan Times. "Everyone seems in a hurry to reach the summit point when the weather is clear." "

Le Mans 1966: Ford v. Ferrari

by Dave Skretta


"(AP)...The story, the subject of a 2016 documentary entitled “The 24 Hour War,” began in the early 1960s, when Enzo Ferrari expressed interest in selling his company. Henry Ford II spent considerable resources doing background work on a potential deal, only for Ferrari to suddenly shut down negotiations.

That chapped Ford, who ordered his racing division to build a car to beat Ferrari, the Italian sports car company that had come to dominate endurance racing.

But despite pumping untold sums of money into its program, Ford kept running into problems with its project. So it ultimately turned it over to Shelby, who in turn sought out Miles, and together they not only got the program on track but also got it to victory lane in their first try at Le Mans.

“There’s that relationship, right? And the friction in that relationship. They’re opposites in so many ways,” Damon said. “But they have the qualities the other needs. Carroll was great about politics and diplomacy. He could sell you anything. He understand that was a big part of putting a winning team on the grid, was the politics of it. Whereas Miles was horrible at that stuff.”

The film, directed by James Mangold, went through several rewrites before Bale and Damon signed onto the project. It was filmed primarily in California, but Bale said the group went to Le Mans for some of the local scenes, and he even took a course at Bob Bondurant’s racing school.

Walt Disney Studios is due to release it Nov. 15 under the 20th Century Fox banner..."

Workout mistakes:
  • barbell curls with a fucked up shoulder
  • deadlifts with a fucked up shoulder
  • more deadlifts with a fucked up shoulder
 

Been there, done that.

Result: physical therapy.


I've expanded my "everything can be fixed with duct tape and superglue!" theory of medicine to include kinetic tape.

It's only muscular. My bodybuilding toyboy with the huge cock© tore it a few years back, and it gives me twinges from time to time.

... well, twinges that have kept me awake a few nights this week. So I should really be resting it more. But I got twitchy and restless.
